Filter by:forty quarry workers participated in the study with age range (40-60 years), body mass index (BMI) from 25 to 34.9 kg/m2 (over weight and class 1 obesity). The patients divided into two groups randomly. (Group A) received aerobic exercises (Group B) receive aerobic exercises with moderate intensity in the form of walking on electrical treadmill for 30 min and inspiratory muscle training for 10 minutes., 3 sessions per week for 8 consecutive weeks. Pulmonary function test was applied by spirometry to assess lung function
To evaluate efficacy of CPAP Therapy on Pulmonary Function Test in Patients With COPD-OSA Overlap Syndrome
COVID-19 is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis. CKD requires particular emphasis during the pandemic due to concern for increased susceptibility to infection from greater use of health facilities in people undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. COVID-19 due to SARS-CoV-2 involves multiple organs and lung injury is one of the most clinical manifestations. The binding of SARS-CoV-2 to the ACE2 receptors at target cells ,including type II pneumocytes ,and alveolar macrophages in the lung could arise into acute systemic inflammatory responses and cytokine storm.The consequentially leading to lung-resident dentritic cells (rDCs) activation, T lymphocytes production and release antiviral cytokines into the alveolar septa and interstitial compartments resulting in diffuse alveolar epithelium destruction,hyaline membrane formation, alveolar septal fibrous proliferation and pulmonary fibrosis.Although it has been reported that subgroups of COVID-19 survivors developed persistent lung parenchymal injury that persisted at least after 6 months 5-6 ,the data in CKD patients has not been reported yet.In addition, a study of pulmonary function test after COVID-19 is needed to be investigated.Thus,we plan to assess pulmonary sequalae of COVID-19 in hemodialysis (HD) patients and pulmonary function test after recovered of infection at least 3 months.
The latest data indicate that post COVID-19 condition is frequent in children and adolescents, with the most common symptoms being fatigue, shortness of breath, exercise intolerance and weakness. Evidence that COVID-19 can have significant long-term effects on children's health highlights the need for measures to reduce the impact of the pandemic on children, ensuring that they receive appropriate treatments. Those experiencing post COVID-19 condition require more tailored exercise-related advice and improved support to be able to resume activities important to their individual well-being. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have yet addressed the issue of exercise programs for children with post COVID-19 condition. The aim of this study, therefore, is to evaluate the effectiveness of different interventions on pulmonary function, exercise capacity, fatigue and quality of life in children with post COVID-19 condition. This will be a randomized controlled study with pre and post intervention assessment. Children will be recruited from primary schools and primary health care units in Warsaw. Participants meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomized to one of 3 groups: water-based exercise, land-based exercise or control (no exercise). The water-based and land-based exercise groups will be held twice a week, 45 min per session for 8 weeks. Participants will be assessed at baseline and immediately post-intervention in terms of changes in pulmonary function, exercise capacity, fatigue and quality of life. Research outcomes will build the evidence-based practice for health professionals.
This study will determine if resistance of the airway to airflow and pressure, measured by Impulse Oscillometry, is impacted by a deep breathe maneuver in a small cohort of healthy human subjects.
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented considerable challenges to global health services and dictates almost every aspect of medical practice and policy. The menopausal transition may have significant consequences for respiratory health as COVID 19 symptoms subsides, lung function testing should be done to assess the consequences of this virus on lung health especially in menopausal woman.
Physical inactivity and sedentary time are highly prevalent worldwide and are associated with many adverse health outcomes. Workers adults spend two-thirds of their workday sitting, so they are particularly at risk. Exercise is considered a preventive and treatment tool for diseases, however, the effects of Concurrent Training (that is, aerobic plus resistance training) are not well established in healthy adults. This research project aims to analyze the effects of a concurrent training program on metabolic profile, lung function, stress and quality of life, as well as body composition and physical fitness in sedentary adults. This is a single-blinded two-arm RCT with parallel groups. After completion of baseline assessments, eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to participate in concurrent training group or control group. Repeat assessments will be taken immediately post 8 weeks and post 16 weeks of intervention.
This is a prospective observational study aiming: 1) To quantify lung function using perfusion dual energy computed tomography (DECT) and use this information at the time of treatment planning with preferential sparing of functional lung parenchymal 2) to validate results of lung function obtained using DECT with lung perfusion scintigraphy results, the current standard method; 4) to compare dosimetry of whole lungs vs. functional lungs in patients treated with either stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for early stage lung cancer or conventional radiotherapy for locally advanced lung cancer and 5) to evaluate lung function 6, 12 and 24 months post-radiotherapy with both perfusion DECT and pulmonary function tests and compare radiation dose-map to functional lung-map.
People spend up to 90% of their life indoor, and the way we live and behave in our homes has substantial effects on our health and well-being. Particle contamination is suggested to have substantial negative effects on health, with candles and cooking emitting the largest amount of particles, thus being the largest contributors to indoor air pollution. The overall aim of the present project is to contribute to increased understanding of the association between indoor particulate air pollution and health and well-being.
Recently, the investigators described a new mucoid phenotype of Staphylococcus aureus cultured from the airways of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.In this observational study, the investigators plan to determine the prevalence of mucoid S. aureus in respiratory specimens of CF patients and a possible impact of mucoid S. aureus on lung disease severity.
